I have tried other things with him and they don't always work. I guess you just have to find what works with each horse to get the job done.<br /><br /><b>Gail</b>, yes, the round pen is a wonderful tool if used properly. Several years ago I thought that I wouldn't use it much after I got Gilly started; I was wrong! Gilly is the type of horse that doing a bit of round pen work before every ride is necessary, how much just depends on his thinking that particular day. I do have my work cut out for me!jane augensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053766605374583376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455485508881407962.post-14933233739475441182010-06-05T15:45:56.979-04:002010-06-05T15:45:56.979-04:00Round pen work is excellent in many ways.

Beautiful photos of Gilly too, such a beautiful color! Pokey is one cool ass :)Gail H.

My tainer here in the PNW is a HUGE believer in the old backing up all the way to CHINA if need be...always seems to work in the end.<br />Both of my kids were naughty when I brought them in the other day...I rarely get to bring them in from pasture...Jesse was calling for Lady...walking through his lead rope....he got to back up several times before he listened...he broke my toe 6 years ago...was NOT going to happen again!!!Desert Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17579222955141552476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455485508881407962.post-10671396934086273392010-06-05T10:38:35.584-04:002010-06-05T10:38:35.584-04:00from my front porch, yes, horses seem to have thei...<b>from my front porch</b>, yes, horses seem to have their own agenda! Oh, my! Allegra was sure having some problems with the trailer. Backing into the trailer, don't think Gilly would do that one; just so long as they get on! :-D<br /><br /><b>Sydney</b>,what???<br /><br /><b>Lisa</b>, wish I could have come up with that when he was being bad, it would have meant more to him then. But we will keep working on things. Gilly is one to keep testing on a daily basis, the brat. <br />I think all horses know the neck whip-fish out-a-water-flop alright and Gilly can be a master of it.<br />yes, Pokey is the good one but I can't ride him! LOL<br /><br /><b>Julie</b>, I do lunge him and flex him before every ride. There are days that he will be so stiff you can't pull his head around just because he is being so resistant to pressure. We are working on that everyday, he is very flexible but when he doesn't want to....grrrrrrr!!!!<br /><br /><b>Kate</b>, it would be so much easier to get him convinced of the trailer if I had one. The one I have been working him in is my neighbors and she only hooks it to the truck every once in awhile so I can only work him in it then. It makes it hard, I need to convince my husband I NEED a trailer!<br /><br /><b>Alice</b>, yes, he is a BAD child and a spoiled brat and all because of me. I let him get away with so much as a youngster and now I am paying for it!!! He isn't mean about it though, thank goodness for that!jane augensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053766605374583376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455485508881407962.post-77116665595524628342010-06-05T07:50:43.551-04:002010-06-05T07:50:43.551-04:00Wow!

Way to go!<br />You totally got his naughty boy number.<br />I hate when horses have to keep testing when you expect them to get it the first time, and have to keep going back over it again and again.<br />I bet you were so mad and tired and the adrenaline was just pumping!<br /><br />When I had to work with Apache that week after I brought her home from Cedar Hill Farm (she pulled that same neck whip maneuver twice with Colleen and her hubby John!), I also made her work for supper...every day for several hours. She finally got it, too. But it sure is no fun at all.<br /><br />What a smart little Pokey. He must have been keeping an eye in the proceedings. Good for him. He was just what you needed....a well behaved equine to not give you a hard time.<br /><br />You deserve a a good rest now.<br /><br />((((hugs))))<br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455485508881407962.post-25076268556919536662010-06-04T22:51:33.309-04:002010-06-04T22:51:33.309-04:00Remember: Even to back up the horse has to be movi...Remember: Even to back up the horse has to be moving forward.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523660446608394720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455485508881407962.post-66444720051769029392010-06-04T22:42:30.683-04:002010-06-04T22:42:30.683-04:00This was something!

Finally she had to be sedated, blindfolded, and we walked her in backwards! And now...that is THE ONLY way she will load!<br />But, I love that Princess :)~from my front porch in the mountains~https://www.blogger.com/profile/18103990196491433325noreply@blogger.com
